 | | To serious students of Scottish history she was a diligent researcher, author of the definitive handbook on Scottish tartans, an expert on the Stuarts in general and Charles I in particular. |
 | | Then, at 20, she met and married Freddy, 2nd Lord Hesketh, a descendant of a long-established Lancashire family which had once owned Rufford Hall, where Shakespeare is said to have performed as a member of the Hesketh troupe. |
